    I love the car­toon, but I’m not sure I agree with the sen­ti­ment. Tech­no­logy chan­ges peo­ple, albeit slowly and over time. It’s easy to take com­fort in the idea that huma­nity is cons­tant in many areas, but I don’t know how accu­rate that is. Peo­ple change. Tech­no­logy for­ces the issue, sometimes.

    I don’t think you can take a short quote like that and gene­ra­lize it too much. Of course peo­ple change, the point is that Human Nature doesn’t change inso­much as it is gene­ti­cally fixed. But part of that nature is to adapt to the envi­ron­ment we’re in. Ergo chan­ging the con­di­tions as tech­no­logy does will lead huma­nity to adapt to the new situa­tion. But the human nature that lead us to adapt will remain unchanged.
